"I WAS drinking (decaf organic) green tea for 5 months prior to conceiving but learned I should stop while 5 weeks pregnant.
Greet tea depletes Folic Acid. Due to this, a study has shown it is linked to neural tubal defects & spina bifida. It may be ok in "moderation (1 to 2 cups) & not to drink it just after before taking prenatal vit, but why chance it? We have learned over time how important folic is so I just stay away from it in the critical 1st trimester." -- FITZ3636 - 5/6/2011 9:18:44 AM

"Stacey,
I'm right there with you. I'm not craving them now, but earlier in my pregnancy, that's what I wanted - and I did *not* want eggs in any other form. Nothing else sounded or tasted good. I've noticed that every single time I really wanted something (I also crave the heck out of grapefruits and orange juice, for example) there were good nutritional reasons for it.
I figured the risk was minimal and my baby needed the nutrition more, so I ate 'em...and so far, she's fine.
Ditto all the warnings about eating your beef cooked to leather for safety's sake. I cannot eat beef that isn't rare. I just can't, and I tried. Anything more done than medium rare gets me sick and it tastes TERRIBLE to me. Since both chicken and pork taste terrible to me and upset my stomach now, it's a case of 'I can eat the protein my baby needs or worry about the slim possibility of a problem with my food'.
Personally, I'm just being clean and careful, and not worrying about it. Hope that helps.
For the person who said they had trouble with water - you'd be surprised how quickly the water goes if you keep a 16 ounce glass close to hand. It's a matter of habit more than anything and it really is very satisfying for thirst." -- LIONORS - 12/19/2008 6:52:57 PM

"I thought most types of fish, expecially shell fish, was a no-no during pregnancy. I wonder if this is a general article or written specifically for pregnant women." -- MOMMYREGAN - 6/23/2007 10:19:45 AM

"Thanks for breaking down all the benefits of vitamins and minerals! About water, it is SO important. The reason why you urinate a lot is becuase your body is flushing out toxins (water is cleansing and hydrating the body). After a couple of days the frequent urination will subside! Just hang in there and keep up the hydration! It may be a nuisance, but what's more important, being put out for a couple days or giving your body and your baby one of the most important nutrients of all, H2O." -- CHARLOTTEV - 6/22/2007 1:08:42 PM

"This is from the author and our site dietitian - Becky Hand R.D., L.D. - Green tea may decrease the absorption of folic acid and iron, so it is safe to drink—in moderation. I recommend no more than 2 cups daily. You will want to avoid drinking it with your prenatal supplements.
